Gameplay

The player takes the role of an 18-year-old woman, who is manipulated by her twin brother to impersonate him during a senior class cruise, where she is to win a popularity contest. As she interacts with fellow students during the seven days of the cruise, she may in turn manipulate and seduce them, often through BDSM scenes.

Some scenes feature nudity or sex. However, options to skip sex scenes and cover up nude protagonists with Christmas pullovers are available. In January 2017, Christine Love released a patch that changed a scene that had been the subject of much criticism by players and reviewers. In that scene, the player character had been made subject to nonconsensual sexual humiliation by a man.

Reception

Ladykiller in a Bind received "mixed or average" reviews from game critics. On Metacritic, the game has an average of 73 out of 100 based on 7 reviews.

Reviewing the game in Polygon, Allegra Frank appreciated the well-drawn characters and the game's "elegant", "organic" portrayal of non-conventional sexuality, but criticized the "abrupt and disappointing" ending. Hardcore Gamer's Marcus Estrada noted the high-quality art, writing and soundtrack, as well as the game's "incredible cast of characters".
